Boomerang™ Two-Step Corkscrew (Orange)

I have used this wine opener countless times and can each case gave great results. The quality in both materials and construction is very good too. As such have given this wine opener as gifts and therecipients have thanked me every time. Overall this unit is easy to use and if one goes on Youtube,look up the Boomerang Wine Opener and it will show you how to it first time and every time.

Wile E. Coyote approved.I've got just about every bottle opener ever made, and the foil cutter on this one is the easiest to use in the industry. I also love the effectiveness of the screw itself; it has a "grooved" worm, which is to say the screw has a groove down the length of it, so it doesn't split the cork. Like the best bottle openers, this one has a two-step pry lever so you can start the pull and end it with good leverage that makes it easy to remove the cork without cracking it inside the bottle.This is an Italian made bottle opener that was such a hit on my Camino [de Santiago] trip with a Swiss compatriot who basically stole it every chance they could get. Once we got to Santiago, I gave it to them, and so I had to buy another one after I got home, but it's hard to find in stores nowadays, so I had to get it here, on A-zon.The only other bottle opener I like in this price range, is the American made (NOT Chinese imitation) Pulltap, and while I like the feel of the Pulltap in my hand better, and it folds down tighter, this one weighs a tad less (better for town-to-town backpacking, or picnics) and the foil cutter is better. I like both. I use both, as well as some shmancier ones that I keep at home. But for on the go, you either want this one, or the Pulltap. And for the Camino, this would be the one to bring.

I first got to use this kind of opener at my winery job. It is the best for cutting the foil then opening the bottle. You won’t be disappointed!

I finally had to replace two of these purchased 5+ years ago, so I have good hopes for the lifespan of the new ones.I absolutely love the multi-disc foil cutter. Super fast and easy!And a great travel corkscrew as well - since there's no blade, TSA will even let it go in your carry-on bag.Unfortunately, they are now using a new mold that is ¼" to ½" shorter overall...Doesn't sound like much, but that little bit means a shallower insertion, and also less leverage for extraction.Not so much an issue for single bottles at home or travelling, but a definite distraction for busy professional use.Anyhow - I guess it all depends what you're looking for -For a TRAVEL corkscrew (the whole not being confiscated by TSA thing is a huge plus there!) - I'd definitely give it 5 stars...For higher volume BARTENDING corkscrew, unfortunately the new version just isn't the easy-to-use workhorse that the old one was.So I'd only rate it at 3 stars if you're looking to make it your new bartending corkscrew...

I have purchased a number of these before. I'm a bartender and these are the best openers on Amazon.The foil cutter works every time and cuts a nice circular foil that lifts off easily from the bottle.Quite simply, it's the best solution for a bartender who uses the opener daily.

works fine

good combo for foil cutter and opener

I'm a server/bartender and this is a complete game changer with the foil cutter and long cork screw. Makes the presentation go a lot smoother especially if the wine isn't stored on its side and is upright which dries out the cork, I'm still able to remove the cork without it crumbling into the wine or breaking in half infront of the patrons.. which is always embarrassing. This has decreased the amount of embarrassing broken corks and cutting myself while attempting to cut the foil.. no one wants a little blood with their wine.. Unless they're vampires. Which I doubt because the sun is up for most of the shift. 🤷🏼‍♀️
